Elie Hobeika's Legacy is his work towards eliminating Sectarianism and Confessionalism from the Lebanese Power Structure, in order to build a Modern Society in Lebanon, keen on Social Justice and Good Governance. He favored de-confessionalizing the Lebanese Government and ALL Political life, provided all participants in the democratic process commit themselves to constitutional separation of church & state...

Objectivity and "Truth"....

Forget what you've heard about objectivity. Not even cameras are objective. To nearly everything you analyze (and report on) you bring notions based on - but not limited to - your class, gender, skin color, ethnicity, native language, upbringing, education, religion, culture, playground experiences, political orientation, the influences of people you trust and things about the way our brains work that nobody even knows yet. Like sponges, we absorb stereotypes and clichés about other people's attitudes and behavior which skews our perceptions in ways we don't even realize. So don't fool yourself into believing in objectivity. The best you can achieve is fairness, and that's a tough path to stick to as well.

And then we'd have a talk about the textbook description of objectivity, which is that "every story has two sides," a pernicious dualistic myth that profoundly undermines what is supposed to be a search for truth....

Quote: just as an example... No more for now:

Elie Hobeika was a regular visitor to CIA in LangleyVirginia during the days of William J. Casey, Iknow this for a fact, because my cousin accompaniedhim on those trips. I used to get phone calls fromMy cousin, he would bring me regards from my folksin Beirut, I was shocked every time, because I wassurprised that Elie Hobeika was actually given aUS visa, in the days when the Embassy visa sectionwas closed in Beirut and it took a Miracle to getone from Cyprus....... and yet they assassinatedhim in cold Blood at a ...

As for the CIA's book on Hobeika, written by an illiterate by the name of "COBRA", as a "precursor" and a deliberate "Primer" for the horrendous assassination of Mr. Elie Hobeika, I would say the following:

People looking at the rating I've given this book will quickly label me as a fanatic Lebanese Christian. Be that as it may, I for one have made researching an author's background a habit of mine before I read any book. That way, I get to piece together a certain picture in my head concerning the content of a book, since the author's character greatly affects his writings. In the case of Robert hatem, aka "cobra", that wasn't necessary. I've been unfortunate enough to have made the acquaintance of cobra on many an occasion prior to his infamous book publishing. I feel it is my duty to give you, the potential buyer of this "book", a brief historical background on the author. Cobra is an illiterate man, who was picked off of the streets by the deceased elie hobeika, trained to become both a fighter and a bodyguard to elie hobeika who was appointed head of the Lebanese Forces' intelligence service in 1980. From the first day Robert hatem was recruited by elie hobeika, he was on the payroll. Not only that, but elie hobeika entrusted cobra with the task of protecting his family, and cobra was even allowed to sleep in the hobeika household! one day, cobra was given a mission; to kidnap a millionaire by the name of roger tamraz. Roger tamraz is by far, hands down, the Webster's dictionary definition of human filth. Robert Baer mentions tamraz in his book "see no evil". You can always refer back to that. back to cobra. after his release, tamraz made a deal with cobra. as it were, cobra wasn't too happy with the fat paycheck and the security his master was protecting him, so tamraz persuaded cobra to write a book that would scandalize and besmirch elie hobeika's name. But robert hatem did a lot worse than that; he mentioned the names of many decent ladies of high stature in the Lebanese society, saying that elie hobeika had had numerous affairs with them. Countless families were torn apart by this monstrosity. But it doesn't stop there; tamraz wasn't the only one who financed the book, amine gemayel, former president of the Lebanese republic(by virtue of his brother, the late president bachir gemayel) was the arch-enemy of elie hobeika. the latter's popularity and power was growing, and amine gemayel, a thief and a scoundrel if Lebanon had ever known one, wanted to put an end to his rival's popularity. To sum it all up, this book is a biased, completely untruthful, and low attempt at documenting the biography of elie hobeika and his involvement in the Lebanese war. it is a story of the maronite Christians' struggle to displace any potential rivals to power....++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++إفلاس وردة فعل30 تشرين الثاني 2007

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

One can see the wisdom in his very visage. The hazel eyes, glowing from sockets lined with deep suntan emotions, beam with the brilliance of a limelight. His hair, looking like spun silver, sits neatly in place upon his head. Yet, as he nods slightly, it sparkles, each strand in concert, as if to echo the exuberance of his own nature.
His nose, strong and stately, arcs proudly above the overshadowed yet undaunted mouth. The lips, bold as they are, show incredible kindness and generosity, especially when he curls them into one of his particularly boyish grins. His countenance mirrors his being and in that beautiful angel face one can see a child playing in a meadow.
His forty six years do not show themselves in his posture. He stands tall, erect; and moves with unmitigated grace. Always dressed in perfect clothes, his bright colors dazzle and shine in the Lebanon sun. What a sight this man is to behold! The experiences, heartbreaks, loves, joys, and victories of forty six years of living, all combine into one fascinating embodiment within him, a Heroes' Hero and the greatest man ever.
